Computers 4 Life kicks off new year

School resumes on Wednesday, Jan. 2 for students and staff in Sleepy Eye. With snow and cold this year, some of those outdoor activities could be planned like skiing, snowmobiling and ice skating unless the temperatures get too low. There were a few days to try out those new toys the little ones received.

The Community Education office is located in room 109 of the Sleepy Eye High School. School day office hours are generally 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Since staff is part-time, they may not always be in the building. You can call and leave a message on voicemail, 507-794-7873, and we will get back to you with more information. Another option is to e-mail staff with questions and to sign-up. Addresses are on the school website.
